Salvation by Grace through Faith Alone Ephesians 2:8-9
If you were to die today and stand before God and He asked, “Why should I let you into My heaven?”, what would you say? The question gets to the heart of, “What are you trusting in for eternal life?” Paul answers this crucial question in these verses (Ephesians 2:8-9). He wrote these truths to those who were already saved, to clarify and solidify their understanding of these vital matters. When you share the gospel with others, their misunderstanding of God’s grace and the relationship between faith and works will be the major issues you will need to clarify. When …
Don’t rock the boat!
By Laurel J.Davis In the 2010 movie, How Do You Know?, this guy loses almost everything when he comes under federal investigation for stock trading fraud at his father’s firm. Although he is completely innocent, he still loses his girlfriend, is forced to leave his job and oh, forget about trying to find a new one. Adding insult to injury, he realizes his father would rather let him — his own son — take the fall instead of the company; and the fees for his legal defense will start at a whopping $300,000 retainer. The guy’s loyal secretary, Millie, knowing …
A SPECIAL PURPOSE
Psalm 150150 Praise the Lord!Praise God in his sanctuary;praise him in his mighty heavens!2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;praise him according to his excellent greatness!3 Praise him with trumpet sound;praise him with lute and harp!4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;praise him with strings and pipe!5 Praise him with sounding cymbals;praise him with loud clashing cymbals!6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!Praise the Lord! The Lord has made us a special people in order that we may fulfill a special purpose. Isaiah 43:21 says, “The people whom I formed for Myself will declare My praise.” An integral …
The Watered Lilies
The MASTER stood in His garden, Among the lilies fair,Which His own right hand had planted, And trained with tend’rest care.He looked at their snowy blossoms, And marked with observant eyeThat the flowers were sadly drooping, For their leaves were parched and dry.“My lilies need to be watered,” The Heavenly Master said;“Wherein shall I draw it for them, And raise each drooping head?”Close to his feet on the pathway, Empty, and frail, and small,An earthen vessel was lying, Which seemed no use at all;But the Master saw, and raised it From the dust in which it lay,And smiled, as He gently whispered, “This shall do My work today:“It is but …
Jesus said, “I am the Vine and you are the branches
John 15:5 (KJV)5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Jesus said, “I am the Vine and you are the branches…..without Me you can do nothing.” If we abide in the Vine by faith, then His life becomes OUR life — and all the fruit that is produced is a manifestation of HIM; of HIS life in us. A branch cannot bear fruit of itself. It has no life in itself. Neither does the Vine act upon …
Becoming Antichrist: Vol. I
April 27, 2019 by Pete Garcia & Randy Nettles I do not think about the Antichrist often, nor do I want this to seem as if I am glorifying him in any way, shape, or form, but I have at times, wondered about a few things. How does Satan go about selecting the Antichrist? Is […]
The Timepiece – by Hal Lindsey
For many of you who read this letter each week, there’s not much I can tell you about Israel that you don’t already know. And that is good. Because, as you’ve heard me say so often, Israel is God’s time clock. End-times prophecy kicked into high gear when Israel became a modern nation back on May 14, 1948. It fulfilled Isaiah’s incredible prophecy, found in Isaiah 66, that Israel would be reborn in a day. Even Isaiah was incredulous: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Can a …
MY REDEEMER LIVETH”
by Charles H. Spurgeon CONTINUALLY have I spoken to the reader concerning Christ crucified, who is the great hope of the guilty; but it is our wisdom to remember that our Lord has risen from the dead and lives eternally. You are not asked to trust in a dead Jesus, but in One who, though He died for our sins, has risen again for our justification. You may go to Jesus at once as to a living and present friend. He is not a mere memory, but a continually existent Person who will hear your prayers and answer them. He …
“God, even our own God.” Psalm 67:6
It is strange how little use we make of the spiritual blessings which God gives us, but it is stranger still how little use we make of God himself. Though he is “our own God,” we apply ourselves but little to him, and ask but little of him. How seldom do we ask counsel at the hands of the Lord! How often do we go about our business, without seeking his guidance! In our troubles how constantly do we strive to bear our burdens ourselves, instead of casting them upon the Lord, that he may sustain us! This is not …
Watch Me Work”
Exodus 5:22-6:1222 Then Moses turned to the Lord and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me? 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.”6 But the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”2 God spoke to Moses and said to …
THE POWER OF CHRIST
Ephesians 3:13-19So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length …
Psalm 139
Search Me, O God, and Know My HeartO Lord, you have searched me and known me!2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;you discern my thoughts from afar.3 You search out my path and my lying downand are acquainted with all my ways.4 Even before a word is on my tongue,behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.5 You hem me in, behind and before,and lay your hand upon me.6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;it is high; I cannot attain it.7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?Or where shall I flee from your presence?8 …
